How can you find your way without the use of GPS? This class will provide you with route-finding strategies based on heightened awareness and reading the landscape. Ranging off trail over varied terrain, you will develop and test your inner compass, while tuning into nature's directional “signposts” and honing your lost-proofing instincts. Additionally, this offering will include reflections and hands-on instruction surrounding the art and intricacies of “tarpitecture,” a skill set equally useful in the event of a backcountry emergency or casual visit to the beach. Basic knots common to multiple applications will be taught. Children ages 12+ are welcome to register with an adult.
Rob Riman spent his youth roaming Lake Michigan’s upland ravines and paddling nearby headwaters of the Mississippi. Following studies in geology, and a decade leading remote expeditions across North America, from alpine heights to coastal backwaters, he went on to built traditional wooden boats with NYC youth, and pursued graduate work in architecture and sustainable design, leading to his co-founding of the local nonprofit Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET). Today, he delights in his roles as naturalist and place-sourced educator, embracing landful living practices, while working to decolonize his own learning. Homeschool dad to two semi-feral children and avid forager, Rob resides along the former shoreline of the Quinobequin’s impounded estuary, on traditional territory of the Massachusett and Pawtucket people.
